— To navigate albums: Click any album to make it the current album. Using the DaVinci Resolve Advanced control panel, you can use the PREV PAGE/NEXT PAGE buttons to move up and down the Album list.
— To move clips from one album to another: Drag and drop a still from the Gallery to an album.
— To remove an album: Right-click any album, choose Remove Current Album, and click Delete at the prompt. All clips inside that album will be deleted along with the album, so use this carefully.
PowerGrade Albums
PowerGrade albums are meant to be repositories for grades you want to reuse frequently, or for stills that you need to reference from multiple projects, such as when grading a series that shares common looks from episode to episode.
PowerGrades are associated with your user login
Unlike stills saved to the other albums in the list, which are ordinarily available only to the project in which they were saved, stills saved to a PowerGrade album are shared among all projects
that have been stored within a particular project library. Each project library has its own unique PowerGrade album.
Creating a new project library creates a new PowerGrade album, which starts out as a clean slate. However, you can always use the Gallery window to copy PowerGrade stills from other projects and project libraries to the current one, and you can create as many PowerGrade albums as you need to organize your grades. For more information about project management and project libraries, see Chapter 3, “Managing Projects and Project Libraries.”
Functionally, PowerGrade albums are identical to any other album, and you can save, organize, and use stills in PowerGrade albums as you would with other albums. Since PowerGrade albums are special in that they’re maintained by DaVinci Resolve, the last PowerGrade album cannot be deleted.
